Since we're complaining about an issue in GU, I only see it fitting that the string take place in GU.

GU is a forum for people with thicker skin. If you find your feelings get hurt easily, it may be wise to choose to avoid the forum altogether.

LibraSparkle,

Thank you for moving the other thread

To others;

Most of us in GU realize that things may look pretty harsh on some areas in our exchange. Please know that although some people (and there have only been a few) have crossed the lines with threats, racism or other vile words, most of us take everything with a grain of salt.

Politics and Religion are never easy to discuss but some will always venture to do so.

Things get heated, words are exchanged and sometimes feelings get hurt.

At the end of the day, we are all still Knowflakes and I know that most of us from GU keep our bickering to that forum while visiting other forums such as FFA and Astrology without airing our arguments or keeping them from helping out someone we just debated with.

Hopefully that spirit will continue

Thanks, LibraSparkle, for moving the thread ... and thanks, pidaua, for trying to inject a more realistic perspective of GU and those who frequent it after this bane.

People may not always do things that others judge as good, but that doesn't make them bad people.

I agree that in GU you have to have thick skin. I kept seeing stuff about GU and decided to check it out. OHHHH it was sooo scary I had to leave.
I think it's great for those who choose to be there and choose to give their opinions and such. I just think it's sad that some things have to get so blown out of proportion.
I mean just being there you have to expect HOT issues to be discussed and if you can't stand that heat then get the hell outta the kitchen, you know. But instead I see things boiling over into other forums. that's not cool.
Much love to the brave souls that keep their cool in GU. and to those that don't, maybe it's time to find something else to do with your time.
Just to let everyone know, I have no idea what all this is really about cause I haven't followed the GU threads in any forum, like I said, too scary for me. So I'm not saying anything to anybody inparticular it's just a statement for everyone, you know.

SP I will remind you that politics and RACIST remarks made at Global Unity are not the same thing. Not something to be brushed off.

Hey Lala Life is treating me very well... and keeping me quite busy. I'm up to 18 clients now, and no more business partner. I am the sole proprietor, and I have two employees.

Soon to be one though... Unfortunately I'm going to have to fire one for lousy performance (among other things).

I hope life is being good to you!

xoxo
